You might have started something here, lets run with it and come up with a defintive list:-

Bad Boys 964 Turbo S

Released in 1995 this classic movie starred Will Smith as a flamboyant Miami cop with a mean all-black 3.6 turbo. The car was actually owned by the films director Michael Bay. The bad boys car now resides in the Drendel collection in North Carolina taking its rightful place amongst other historic Porsches.

i don't think thats a turbo S, it is sitting too high and has no air scoops in the rear wings, probably a 3.6 turbo looking at the speedline wheels

Risky Business 1983

Not a Tom Cruise fan but the 928 looked great. There is a scene where the 928 is involved in a drag race from a set of traffic lights and leaves the other car for dead prompting the comment from the Cruise character:

"There is no substitute for a Porsche!"

How true :D

Don't know how you do links but one of the two cars near the end of weird science if I remember rightly is a 928. Also whilst watching vh1 classic last night at daft o'clock in the morning I noticed a 911 in the Billy Ocean video get out of my car.
Does anyone know of a 944 in any films?

You're right Brucey. Weird Science did feature a black 928 and with Kelly Le Brock inside :love7:

Didn't Patriot Games, or it's sequel which I can't remember the name of, with Harrison Ford in have a 911 which was crashed into the central reservation.

Wierd science was the first one that popped into my head strangely enough, can't think why :roll: :love5:
